Menu websites

Recommended Posts

I stumbled across a website yesterday: http://www.menupix.com/ -- I like it because it reproduces the actual menus, as opposed to an OCR version like on http://www.menupages.com/

What other menu websites have you all been using, and what do you think are the pros and cons?

Fat Guy: I own three dining guide websites and I like to link to the url of the menu page of the restaurant. The reasoning is if the restaurant changes their menu frequently or have daily specials then everyone has up to date information.

FG~

I just compared a NY Russian restaurant (Firebird) on both and found the menupages one much easier to read, same info (pretty much) on both.

Why do you prefer menupix?

Wow, looking at that menupix map, apparently there is no "is" between the two coasts. No wonder I'm so hungry.

I just google for the restaurant, see if they have a web page, and look for "menu" on the page. Or I look in the phone book to see if they have one there. Or I just go to my drawerful of restaurant menus, and hope it's up to date.
